la not going to be an easy task to stop

"There Is another thing that I want
understood. continued the champion.
"This talk that One-Round Hognn quit
to me In New York Is all bosh. He quit
because b took so much beating that
he couldn't stand any more. It la do.
Sng htm an Injustice to say that he de
liberately quit. He took g lot more
beating than some fellows would, only
be was up asratnst a better man.
That's a quaint piece of egotism, but
every bit worthy of Wolgnst. who
thinks there ts no one like himself In

Providing Wo!t wins, and things
look that way. he will not take on
fight between May 27 and July 4. wh

that for two solid weeks he will go Into

of Nye County. Nev yesterday shed
additional light on the circumstances
connected with the transfer of the
lightweight title to the negro.
"Twelve of us sat In a box butting
right up against Gans' corner." de
clared Johnson at the Savoy Hotel. """We
saw e very move and 'Nelson positively
did not foul Gans In the 42d round
Here Is something that has never been
published: Kddle Graney asked per
mission to sit In our box about the 10th
round. He sat on ray lap for awhile
and then switched over to that of Key
Plttmsn. a Goldfleld attorney next to
me and squarely back of Gans.
'About the 30th round he bent over

'He la pretty weak. I don't know.

puts Larry Sullivan, former Portland
and Astoria man. In the role of hero
or villain, which ever way your money
might have been. Sullivan was In busi
ness In Goldfleld at that time and did
the announcing preliminary to hostll
itles.
"The bulk of the money was up on
Gans. I knew that, but I must say 1
did not know that Sullivan came to
Gans corner In the 20th round and
again In .the 40th. when the whispered
conversation Inspiring the fake-foul
claim Is said by Kli-e to have taken
place." said Johnson.
Speaking of the bout and of the al
leged frame-up between Sullivan and
Referee Slier. Rice writes as folio
"The fight progressed for SO rounds
or more, when I began to dotiht the
ability of Gans to win. Mr. Sullivan
had a commissioner at the ringside,
who, up to this time, had been betting
anybody and everybody all the 10 to
that was wanted against Nelson. I
hailed Mr. Suillvan at the ringside.
Thla doesn t look like the cinch for
Gans you said It would be,' I whispered.
'Walt a minute." Mr. Sullivan re
plied. "I'll jro to Gans' corner aa soon
this round Is over and find out
what's doing with him.'
Mr. Sullivan went over to Gans cor
ner and came back.
Gans says he can't win this fight.
but he won't lose. He's a good ring
eneral and he'll pull us out. Don't
bet any more money. I'm going to
stsy close to the ringside. Watch close.-
Nelson Hooted hj Crowd.
Tt was apparent during the next 10
rounds that Gana was availing; iilraself ,
of every opportunity to Impress upon
the audience that Nelson was Inclined
to use dirty fighting tactics, and soon
Nelson was hooted for foul fighting.
Gans. on the other hand, appeared to
be fighting fair and like a gentleman.
Soon It was evident that Gans had
won the sympathy and favor of the au
dience. 'The fight hod continued through
the lOtli round, when Mr. Sullivan
again repaired to Gans' corner and held
another animated whispered conver
sation with him.
"in the 12d round Gans of a sudden
went down, rolled over and, holding
his hands under his belt, let out a yell
of anguish that Indicated to the ex
cited multitude that Nelson had fouled
him frightfully.
In another Instant Mr. Sullivan had
clambered Into the ring. Confusion
reigned. The audience was on Its feet
Pushing his fist Into the referee's face,
Mr. suillvan cried: 'Now, Slier, you saw
that foul, didn t youT It's a foul, lsn
It? Gans wins, doesn't he?'
"All of this happened quick as
flash. Mr. Siler, pale as a ghost.
whispered something Inaudlbly.
"Mr. Sullivan, turning to the assem
blage and raising both arms to th
skies, jelled:
" 'Gentlemen, the referee declares
Gans the winner on a foul! "
"I saw Sullivan Jump Into the rfng.
say something to Slier and then shoui
out further admonitions to the crowd
but there waa such a hubbub that
could nt near what he was yelling, a!
though but 10 feet distant." continued
Johnson. "Gans was facing me at the
time the alleged foul occurred and the
blow hit him on the arm about waist
high."

JV1AYBURY r.'0W JUDGED
TRACK SEASON OVER, WORK OF
COACH DISCUSSED.
Seattle Criticises Washington Man
for Playing Politics, but Results
Seem to Uphold Him.
UNTVERSITr OF WASHINGTON.
Seattle. Wash., May 20. (Special.)
Since tha track season for the Univer
sity of Washington has been brought
to a close. It is now time to see what
has been done under James Maybury,
coach, one of the world's most famous
sprinters.
In Seattle coacb Maybury has been
criticised severely regarding his choice
of a team. He has been charged with
bending to the will of fraternity men
and to the will of many of the candi
dates and allowing politics to flgure
oo largely In the choice of his men.
Still Mr. Maybury, who came to Wash
ington unacquainted with his men.
turned out the best team that Wash-
ngton has ever seen. Because she
lost the California meet was not be
cause her team was not as good as
last year, say athletes, but because the
California teams were stronger than
In 1910.
Records show that the events were
better In several cases than last year
and that the team next year under the
same coaching would be 100 per cent
tronger.
In all probability Maybury will . be
retained next year, owing to the good
howlng he has made under unfavor-
ble conditions. The majority of the
track team declare the work of Coach
Maybury to be wholly satisfactory.

HE'S NOW OUT OF RUNNING
Youth Short Time Ago Considered
Coming Champion, but Fans Are
Displaying Change of Senti
ment Fight Gossip Out.
BY JAMES J. CORBETT.
STRACUSE. N. May 20. (Special.)
Talk about the loyalty of the sport
Ing public. Well. Its the same In New
York as elsewhere. While a boxer Is
winging along and bringing home first
money every time he starts his ad
mirers and boosters are legion, but
the first setback and how quickly sen
timent changes.
Let us take the case of little K. O.
Brown. A few short weeks ago he was
Gotham's pride and choice for the light
weight stakes. ' He was the coming
champion beyond a doubt, if we could
have believed what . we read In the
metropolitan papers. Fighting last
year for the first time professionally
(he was then a featherweight) as he
Is only a kid In years. Brown became
a great favorite right from the jump.
His willingness to mix and apparent
anxiety to be doing something every
minute of the time he was in the ring
made a hit with the Jaded fans. So
accustomed were Manhattanltes to the
clinchers and stallers that anything In
the way of a change was most wel
come.
Brown happened along at the psy
chological moment. -His style w
crude, but that was offset by an eager
and ardent desire to administer
maximum of punishment to his op
ponent within the minimum of time.
Hugging and wrestling were not In his
repertoire; he wanted to fight all the
time and, believe me. the boy's mode
was an agreeable variation from the
stuff that was at that time being
dished out to the public and labeled
boxing exhibitions between experts.
Brown Gains Popularity.
So It happened that the youngster
sprang right Into the front row of fa
voritism, and when he followed it up
with a hair-line victory over Tommy
Murphy and two bouts with Champion
Wolgast In Which the newspapers
awarded the decision to the East
Slder. there was nothing to it. Brown
was hailed as a champion by the over
enthusiastic and always fickle public
It was only a question of watting for a
match with the champion over a longer
route, and then, for the first time in
many a long year. New York could
boast a champion boxer.
However, the bubble was burst
week or so ago, and by one of the
boy's former victims one Tommy
Murphy. And now the K. O. person Is
Setting all that is coming to him and
a little bit more. From the greatest
In his class, over-night, he became
dub again to quote some of the Im
pressionable critics. In fact, the few
who were Inclined to look upon the
boy as rather mediocre and consider
him a bit lucky m catching boys oi
the Murphy and Wolgast types when
they were not In the best of form, are
now the only ones to give the little fel
low the credit due him for past per
formances. And I number myself among
the latter. I have never figured Brown
to be a star performer, and do not
think he can be made into one unless
started all over again and taught a dif
ferent style of boxing than his present
awkward and Immature method.
"K. O." Out of Running.
At any rate. Brown's showing in the
Murphy bout puts him out of the run
ning for the present, as Harlem Tommy
Is far short of the championship stand
ard. Murphy Is not so good a boy
as he was and Is on the down grade.
Ho hss been unfortunate with hts
health and for the last two years a
victim of malaria, which has Interfered
not inconsiderably with his training.
McFarland recently gave us a line on
how far Tommy has gone back and how
much he lacksof measuring up to the
championship class.
Ad Wolgast boxes Frankie Burns
a 30-round bout in San Francisco
one week from today, ana me
latters standing In the lightweight
ranks will be measured by his per
formance. Out on the Coast he Is re
garded a much better man than ""One.
Round" Ho (tan. who came Last to set
the world on fire, but was foolishly
sent after the champion. Burns must
be made of a better quality than Hogan
to expect to lest the route with Wol
gast. The latter Is at his best form
now and, barring anotner accioent to
the twice-broken arm. ought to dispose
of Frankle's ambition well inside the
limit unless the little Callfornlan shows
marvelous Improvement.
Owen Moran follows Burns, according
to the champion's booking, and the
melee Is carded to go the full distance
of 15 rounds If necessary. A victory
for Burns would necessarily change
the programme, but I really cannot
figure where Ad should have cause for
worry over the result of the matcn witn
the ambitious Frisco youngster. The
champion Is too tough a bird for a
novice to trim. Possibly a little later
for-Frankie, but not Just now.
All Look, for Real Hammer.
The Moran-Wolgast affair ought to
orove a hammer wniie it lasts, uwen
knows how to box and can punch, too.
The little Briton, In all probability, will
lead the champion a lively pace for 10
rounds or so, but Wolgast Is a second
Nelson in the matter of taking punish
ment and coming back for more. When
a clever, hard-hitting boy hands out
his best for round after round and
finds that the other fellow is still there
and showing no ill effects from the
beating his courage Is put to the most
severe test to the breaking point. In
tact. I am not questioning Owen's
gameness because his record speaks for
tself and there has never been any
doubt on that point. But the
gamest in the business Is bound to grow
discouraged when it comes home to him
that the opposing boer Is a marvel at
assimilating punishment and that the
fire of his heaviest artillery is wasted
upon an adversary. It takes the heart
out of a man where a beating cannot
do It.
Packey McFarland would appear to
be the only stumbilng bloclc in the way
f the champion s ambition to lick the
present crop of lightweights and to
retire an undefeated champion, as did
one of his predecessors In the role
Jack McAuliffe. Some talk has passed
between the boys regarding -a match
nd the champion's manager has gone
so far as to make Packey several prop
ositions with a sliding scale of
weights attached that will kill the like
lihood of a match, or at least post
pone It for an Indefinite period. May-
has a double vlctorj over Burns and J
Shown
GOTHAM
Moran will Instill the champion with J
sufficient confidence in his might and (
skill to waive the difference over the
weight question. The public wants
to see the boys get together, if only
for a short bout, and would be will
ing to pay liberally for the privilege.
Bill Lang finally had his number
hung up as a winner, although from
the meager cabled reports of the con
test there Is a flaw in the victory
somewhere -tr other. The dispatches
say that Jack Lester had the better
of the bout up to the sixth round, when
he hurt his arm and fell to his knees,
refusing to continue. Of course, the
referee awarded the decision to Lang.
While the finish would suggest that
Tommy Burns' "hope" Is not made of
the right sort of stuff to develop Into
a champion, we must reserve judgment
until more particulars are learned. Pos
sibly the boy had some good reason
for quitting In the manner the cable
had it. It will all come out in due
time. However, It cannot be called an
annlflnii ....-, fn. T&s4a lit . . i..t

RALPH XEWXAXD IS INTERCOL
LEGIATE TEXXIS CRACK. '
For First Time in Three Years State
University Wins Xorthwest Title
From Washington Players.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., May 20. (Special.) Ralph New
land, of the University of Oregon, de
cided the Intercollegiate tennis cham
pionship of the Northwest in favor of
Oregon today, when he defeated Mon
crlef. of Washington, in singles by a
score of 6-0; 6-1; 6-3. The contest be
tween Newland and Moncrlef was the
third match of the series of five that
was begun here yesterday evening, Im
mediately after the arrival of the
Washington players. '
The first match in singles was won
by Stlne, of Oregon, yesterday after
noon, playing against Feblger, of the
University of Washington. Stlne won
his match in three sets as Newland did
today, with a score of 6-2; 6-2; 6-2.
Newland and Gray, of Oregon, were
matched against Moncrlef and Goetz, of
Washington, in doubles, and won three
out of four sets with scores of 6-2;
6-4; 4-6; 6-0. The two remaining matches
were postponed until afternoon, since
Newland's victory definitely settled the
championship In favor of Oregon.
This victory gives the university of
Oregon the Northwest tennis champion
ship for the first time in three years.
Mac Snow, of Oregon, carried off the
honors at Seattle In 1908. The'success
of Oregon in the tournament Is largely
due to the work of Newland, a Call
fornlan, who played his first tennis In
Palo Alto, before coming to the U. of O.
He has a serve that is extremely diffi
cult to solve and is a brilliant and ver
satile player On the court. Moncrlef
Is probably the steadiest player for
Washington, although Febiger excellls
him in serving.
The Washington players were some
what handicapped In the latter tourna
ments, because they had smashed two
racquets In the earlier games and were
obliged to play with racquets to which
they were unaccustomed.
The last two matches In the tennis
tournament were played In the after
noon. " Bond, of Oregon, lost to Goetz,
of Washington, In a hotly contesteu
series of singles. Scores: 3-6, 3-6,
4. 7-5, 7-5.
The most exciting match of the series
was the doubles between Newland and
Stlne, of Oregon, and Febiger and Mon
crlef, of Washington. Nearly all of the
games went to deuce, but the Oregon
men usually succeeded In winning the

PUGILISM SEES
TWO LIGHTS PASS
Kaufman and Lester Placed In
"Has Been" Class Since
Recent Bouts. ui
GAMBLERS' WILES INJURE
Sensational Gans-Xelson "Jobbing"
Charge Recalled Abe Attell,
Featherweight Champion, Xow
tBusy Elevating "Stoige. .
P.T ROSCOB FAWCETT.
Two pugilistic good things have gone
glimmering within the past fortnight,
and another is inevitable, as Frankie
Burns and Champion Wolgast tangle In
San Francisco next Saturday. AI
Kaufman, who lost a furious knockout
go to Jim Flynn, Is one of the recent
"has beens," and Jack Lester, protege
of Tommy Burns, another Lester is
demanding a second engagement with
Bill Lang and may redeem himself
within the near future.
Several other developments of the
fortnight are of more than passing mo
ment the sensational Gans-Nelson
"jobbing" charge in a current maga
zine, the bursting of the Knockout
Brown bubble and the anaesthetic ad
ministered to the fight game across
the Columbia at Vancouver.
Immediately after the memorable Gans
Nelson championship affray at Gold
field In 1906, Nelson said he had been
victimized, that Referee Slier did not
see him foul the negro as no such foul
had been committed. He repeated tha
charge in his autobiography, supple
menting it with a reproduction of the
alleged foul blow as depicted in tha
moving pictures.
Gamblers' Wiles Hurt.
There seems to be no question but
that Slier was made the butt of the
gamblers' wiles. Siler and Gans are
both dead now, Siler's death probably
putting the quietus on a libel suit
brought against Billy Nolan, Nelson's
manager, for statements reflecting
upon his honesty In the Goldfield de
cision. The "Battler" afterwards re
gained the title .from Gans, so the aver
age fan Is willing to forgive and forget
the alleged stain on the boxing parch
ment. Wolgast seems to have filled up with
a match that looks easy, in the Frankie
Burns engagement on May 27. Burns
is a good lad. without a doubt, but he
has never faced a scrapper of the tiger
type.
Wolgast should have tougher going
with Owen Moran on July 4, but Wol
gast is easily the favorite.
Xew Foothold Secured.
"Boxing on the Coast has secured a
new foot upon which to stand, the
result of the Los Angeles boxing de
cision," writes Malachy Hogan. of
Denver, In the Chicago Record-Herald.
If Malachy could gaze upon a life-sized
daguerreotype of Promoters Bud Smith
and Emery at Vancouver, Wash., he
might change his views, for the game
over there has been completely routed
to the Egyptian mummy subway by
ministerial agitation.
Sighing for new fields to conquer.
Abe Attell, featherweight champion, lsv.
now busy elevating the "stoige." Abe
tells a story of his first appearance in
Springfield that is good. He had Just
won a big fight out West and was
billed to appear in Springfield for the
first time. Arriving in town he found
his picture spread on posters and
streamers all over the city, but the
only newspaper carried not a line of
advertising. He found it was a re
ligious sheet.
"Don't worry about that," the man
ager said, "they all know you are here,"
Attell went over to the hotel and reg
istered. He wrote his name thrice Its
usual proportion. The clerk looked up,
glanced at the name, and calmly asked:
"Do you want a sample, room, Mr. At
tell?" Such Is fame.
